Hikari: "It must have some significance!" *She defends for some reason, hugging the bottle as if its feelings were hurt* "Perhaps the meaning is just elsewhere." *She follows them*

"You possess such talent? You certainly had me fooled." Iona smiles wrly at Solum as they proceed through the underhalls.
"None the less, the dead and the..er..shrubberies walk here. This is proof of a most dreadful curse upon this place. Let us see it exorcised so these simple diggers can go back to their duties." The necromancer nods sagely.

Hikari: "I do hope we resolve this quickly. I'm starting to miss natural sunlight already." *She keeps following the necromancer into the tunnel*
(8 to hit so it misses) A half woman half snake jumps from the hole swiping at Iona's face, missing but sending a clear message. The young naga glares at them, still half in the hole. She's not like a normal naga, her scales are a mix of orange, red and yellow so that when her tail moves it looks like a flickering flame, her skin is also a deep red along with her hair. The glow it seems was coming from her as she is giving off a high amount of heat making even your groins heat up.
The claws sweep past Iona's face, making the Necromancer stagger back with a yelp of fright! As Zahir storms forward, the gothic one regains her courage and anger, rising up to point a damning finger at the thing.
"You! How dare you swing at me!" She seethes, shivering as this strange heat creeps through her, oh so similar to the goblin poison. "Explain yourself, serpent!"
Iona deftly steps backwards, putting as many hard-bodied men between herself and the snake as she can. Her fingers curl, drawing necrotic ice to her palm. Just in case.

Hikari: *Calmly strides over to Iona and placing a hand on her shoulder.* "Iona please calm down, lets all be calm here." *She turns to the Naga* "No need to be hostile. We stepped into your claimed territory we understand but we are merely passing through. Could you help us find our way?"
Hikari: "Please don't be angry with us. We apologize for our rudeness, but we were informed that goblins were causing a lot of mischief around these parts and were on our way to try to deal with the problem. Would you happen to know which pathway will lead us to the goblins?"
"What did you have in mind?" asked Rebecca. Knowing this world, she figured that it would be one of two things; gold, or sex. Rebecca moved to the side to get a better look at this fire naga. If the snake-girl was cute, then she might be willing to negotiate for one of those things. After all, it wasn't like she had any money on her.
Hikari: "Of course, I'm sure we can come to an arrangement. How much will this information cost us mrs?".
By this point, Iona has scurried to the back of the group, wobbling upon her high heels as another dose of that concentrated heat sinks into her. She shudders, gritting her teeth, before whirling around, her eyes ablaze with anger!
"Listen to me well you fornicating illigitimate, the only payment you will earn from me is an equal amount of Pain and Suffering." the Necromancer clenches her hands into fists, glowering at the Naga. "Now, show us the way to these green-skinned rascals , or be deemed amongst their disposable number!"
It seems that Iona is sincerely serious about this. Arcane forces crackle and spark around her, carrying with them the sickly tang of entropic force.

Solum tenses as he sees Iona storming towards the back of the group, eyes burning with anger. He practically leaps forward when he sees the arcane energies surrounding her upon her whirling towards the naga and without thinking moves to grasp one of her fists even as he harshly whispers, his voice barely above a growl "Might not want to do something we may come to regret!"
Iona stumbles as Solum grabs her hand, nearly pulling her off balance. She hisses back up to the Demon-like man, shivering with indignation and anger!
"Tell her that!" She seethes, pointing to the nearby Naga. "This entire pit is full of vermin, villains and vagabonds! Were it not for how important this place is to the little diggers, I would encourage them to just collapse the entire mine on top of them! Hmph!"
Iona steps back, crossing her arms tightly, glowering at the distant naga.

Hikari: *Hikari paces up to the naga, not so close to be intrusive but enough to shift focus from the gothic doll.* "Mrs, I don't think that particular request is quite fair for you to ask for at the present time. We are quite short on time you see. Might we suggest another form of payment Perhaps something more material or useful?"
